Neuropsychological assessment provides a profound analysis of cognitive functioning in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals on the autistic spectrum often show a high level of anxiety and are frequently affected by comorbidities that influence their quality of life. Yet, they also have cognitive strengths that should be identified in order to develop effective support strategies. This article presents an overview of five cognitive areas that are essential for neuropsychological evaluation (ie, intelligence, attention, executive function, social cognition, and praxis) and explores the underlying causes of behavioral problems in persons with ASD. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of meticulous neuropsychological testing with regard to cognitive remediation, a method that can help to enhance single cognitive processes in a targeted manner. Objective test results suggest it might be possible to promote an improved sense of coherence. In line with the salutogenic model, this may be fundamental for human health and well-being.
神经心理学评估对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者的认知功能进行了深入分析。自闭症谱系中的个体通常表现出高度焦虑，并且经常受到影响其生活质量的共病的影响。然而，他们也有认知优势，应该加以识别以便制定有效的支持策略。本文概述了神经心理学评估必不可少的五个认知领域（即智力、注意力、执行功能、社会认知和实践能力），并探讨了ASD患者行为问题的潜在原因。此外，它强调了针对认知康复进行细致神经心理学测试的重要性，认知康复是一种可以帮助有针对性地增强单个认知过程的方法。客观测试结果表明，有可能促进连贯感的改善。根据健康生成模型，这可能对人类健康和幸福至关重要。
